We can't use sprays inside the house (we have birds), but Hubby has sprayed around the outside several times. Nothing seems to work long-term, not even boric acid. :(

It probably doesn't help matters that we live literally 10' from the woods. I guess they're strolling out of the woods and right into the house.

Too bad they're too small to be on our cats' "radars". They'll catch larger bugs in a heartbeat, but they just don't seem to notice the ants! :lol:
